Uggaton Farmhouse

Uggaton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 19th century, likely with a core from the late 17th to early 18th century. It is constructed of plastered local stone rubble and cob, with stone rubble stacks and plastered chimneyshafts, topped by a thatched roof. The house has an L-shaped plan, with the main block facing south and featuring a three-room layout. The main rooms are at either end, with a parlour on the left and a dining room on the right, both having end stacks. The central part serves as an entrance hall, with an office behind and a straight flight stair. A kitchen block extends at right angles from the rear of the right end, containing a large kitchen with an outer lateral stack and a dairy behind. The fireplace in the dining room resembles a late 17th to early 18th-century kitchen fireplace, suggesting that the front block may have originally been a central service room farmhouse from that period, which was later refurbished and enlarged with a new kitchen wing in the 19th century.

The house is two storeys tall, with attics in the main block roofspace. The exterior features a symmetrical three-window front with 19th and 20th-century casements that have glazing bars. The central doorway has a part-glazed four-panel door, set behind a contemporary flat-roofed porch supported by plain timber posts. The rear wall of the main block includes an oak-framed window with rectangular panes of leaded glass, many of which are very old and have a green tint, possibly dating from the late 17th to early 18th century. The tall main block roof is hipped at both ends and has a rear dormer window with shutters.

Inside, the farmhouse primarily reflects the mid to late 19th-century modernization, with much of the joinery detail dating from that time. The only older feature is the large dining room fireplace, made of stone rubble with a plain oak lintel. The roof has not been inspected.
